Please review the official application notice for pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities and program contact information.
For the addresses for obtaining and submitting an application, please refer to our Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs, published in the Federal Register on December 7, 202 2. Purpose of Program:
In awarding research grants, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) intends to provide national leadership in expanding knowledge and understanding of (1) education outcomes for all learners from early childhood education through postsecondary and adult education, and (2) employment and wage outcomes when relevant (such as for those engaged in career and technical, postsecondary, or adult education).
The IES research grant programs are designed to provide interested individuals and the general public with reliable and valid information about education practices that support learning and improve academic achievement and access to education opportunities for all learners.
These interested individuals include parents, educators, learners, researchers, and policymakers.
In carrying out its grant programs, IES provides support for programs of research in areas of demonstrated national need.
Competitions in This Notice:
The IES National Center for Education Research (NCER) is announcing two competitions--one competition in each of the following areas:
using longitudinal data to support State education policymaking and transformative research in the education sciences.
Using Longitudinal Data to Support State Education Policymaking (ALN 8 4. 305S).
Under this competition, NCER will only consider applications that address State agencies’ use of their State’s education longitudinal data systems to identify and reduce opportunity and achievement gaps for learners from prekindergarten through adult education.
Transformative Research in the Education Sciences (ALN 8 4. 305T).
Through this program, IES seeks to support innovative research that has the potential to make dramatic advances towards solving seemingly intractable problems and challenges in the education field and/or to accelerate the pace of conducting education research to facilitate major breakthroughs.
For the FY 2025 competition, the Transformative Research in the Education Sciences grant program will focus on accelerating learning and reducing persistent education inequities by leveraging evidence-based principles from the learning sciences, coupled with advanced technology to create high-reward, scalable technology solutions.
Multiple Submissions:
You may submit applications to more than one of the FY 2025 research grant programs offered through the Department, including those offered through IES as well as those offered through other offices and programs within the Department.
You may submit multiple applications to each IES grant program announced here as long as they address different key issues, programs, or policies.
However, you may submit a given application only once for the IES FY 2025 grant competitions, meaning you may not submit the same application or similar applications to multiple grant programs within IES, to multiple topics within a grant competition, or multiple times within the same topic.
If you submit multiple similar applications, IES will determine whether and which applications will be accepted for review and/or will be eligible for funding.
In addition, if you submit the same or similar application to IES and to another funding entity within or external to the Department and receive funding for the non-IES application prior to IES scientific peer review of applications, you must withdraw the same or similar application submitted to IES, or IES may otherwise determine you are ineligible to receive an award.
If reviews are happening concurrently, IES staff will consult with the other potential funder to determine the degree of overlap and which entity will provide funding if both applications are being considered for funding.
Exemption from Proposed Rulemaking:
Under section 191 of the Education Sciences Reform Act, 20 U.S.C.
9581, IES is not subject to section 437(d) of the General Education Provisions Act, 20 U.S.C.
1232(d), and is therefore not required to offer interested parties the opportunity to comment on matters relating to grants.
